The Majestic Blow Holes is this rugged coast at the village of Houma provide a never ceasing display of the power of the sea. Four miles of coastal blow holes where the might of the Pacific Ocean is forced through natural rock fissures to create instant skyscrapers of water up to 30 meters high provides a never ceasing display of the power of the sea shooting up in the air.
Tsunami Rock
This is a 10 metre high boulder is an amazing 200 metres from the coast and arrived here via a massive tsunami estimated to be up to 35 metres high. The sheer size and shape of the rock amongst these surroundings make it well worth visiting
Kolovai
The flying fox sanctuary at the village of Kolovai which is home to hundreds of fruit bats. Recorded in Tongan song and legend from time immemorial. These primordial fruit bats-harmless, immobile and seemingly lifeless-hang eerily from rows of ironwood pines along the main village road. They are considered sacred and a delicacy to be consumed only by members of the Royal Family.
Abel Tasman Landing Site
Abel Tasman Landing Site on the most northern tip of the island of Tongatapu. An information sign at the site tells about the first encounter with the Dutch explorer’s crew. A plaque is also in place to commemorate the occasion that occurred on 21 January 1643.
Captain Cook's Landing Place
In the year 1777 Captain Cook visited and came ashore to visit Pau the Tui Tonga (the Sacred King of Tonga) on the occasion of 'Inasi ' (presentation of the first fruits)
Ancient Royal Tombs of Lapaha
Large square thing or rectangular earthen burial mounds of the Tui Tonga Dynasty. The Langi has terraced sides faced with slabs of cut limestones. According to tradition , Langi were the burial places of the Tongan ruling class
Ha'amonga'a Maui Trilithon
Is a Stonehenge / Trilithon located in the Eastern Region of Tongatapu in the Village of Niutoua . It was built in the 13th Century by the Tui Tonga ( Sacred King Of Tonga ) Tuitatui in the honor of his 2 children
Niutoua
Maka Fa’akinanga: The Maka Fa’akinanga (Leaning against the rock) is located approximately 100m from the Ha’amonga ‘a Maui. Made from the same stone as the Ha’amonga, the Maka Fa’akinanga is a large stone slab standing upright with markings on the front resembling an indentation of a large head, shoulders and back. Oral stories recount the belief that Tu’i Tu’itatui (eleventh Tu’i Tonga) often sat against the Maka Fa’akinanga and struck out with a staff at people so that they were kept at a safe distance for fear that they may make an assassination attempt.
Makatolo a Maui
Basically these are Maui’s Giantic Throwing Boulders / Stones close to Anahulu Cave @ Haveluliku Village Legend says Maui was annoyed with the Ancient Moa - Giantic Chickens waking him up in the morning that he threw these huge boulders at them to keep them quiet Basically the Eastern Side of Tonga is where all the historical sites are located
Our Accredited Guide will accompany into the cave. Million Years of Rock Formation are evident in the Cave with a fresh water pool at the end ideal for refreshing swim as a highlight of the tour.
